One of the dogs has disappeared and we think animal control got it. The other is still around and has evaded traps set thus far. We have new plans to catch the puppy factory soon as she has recently started sunning herself on our front porch…

We will be getting more hens in the spring. I miss my chicken friends!

Don’t forget to enter to win the gorgeous Celtic silver and amethyst earrings and bracelet set that are the giveaway for the Blogoversary celebration.

We had chickens for a few months, but the smell got too much for us. Our property really wasn’t big enough for them. Also, my husband refused to go into the backyard with them, which makes me think we probably won’t be getting our own chickens again. Sigh! It was so nice eating fresh eggs daily.

Glad you will get new chickens. Your posts about chickens inspired me to attend a tour of the chicken coops of Wellfleet, which was great fun. Also, there was an article in the National Geographic about chickens being saved in England, chickens who were too old to lay eggs. One was wearing a little sweater as its new owner nursed it back to health. Wondered if you saw this article and photos?Alexandra recently posted..GreenCAPE Holds Successful Press Conference on NStar’s Plan for Herbicidal Spraying Under Power Lines

Great story, reminds me of myself. I’ve had chickens on and off for 20yrs. Haven’t any at the moment, but need to get a decent fence,( got sick of trying to catch fly away chickens). I did clip their wings but funnily they grow back!! Plan to get the good fence done asap, then I’ll get some more. Missing them terribly.
